Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Vegan pasta
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 10 ounces Cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Vegetable broth
- 1 cup Coconut milk, full-fat
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the vegan pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the minced garlic and diced onion, sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté until the mushrooms release their moisture and start to brown, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Stir in fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
Pour in the vegetable broth, scraping any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and add the coconut milk to the skillet. Stir in the nutritional yeast and lemon juice. Let it simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing it gently to coat with the sauce. Cook for another 2 minutes to heat through.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
